Short-Term Running Goals:

Okay, so for 2013 I am going to have FUN! Not that running isn't always fun, but I had a wonderful breakthrough year last year and I want to play this year :) AND get faster! So, my first goal I'm going to put out there is my yearly mileage goal.
It is 2,186 miles from my driveway to my sister (QP's) driveway! I want to spend this year on a virtual trek cross country running those miles. So, that is how far I will run in 2013...from my house to QPs. It will take all year and yes, this is measured on Hwys so it isn't really exactly how I COULD run it, but good enough. 43 miles/week...totally doable, and a fun goal to track how far I've traveled as I go along. Who knows...maybe I'll even run PAST her house :)

I will do more trail runs, Boston, Pacing duties, another Half IM and some other tris. I'm excited for this next year and look forward to having fun with all of you out on the roads, and trails! Maybe bag a few peaks this year too!!

Long-Term Running Goals:


Big Dreams: 5K in 20:2X; 10K in 39:XX; Half in 1:29:XX; Full in 3:15:XX; complete the Rim2Rim2Rim run and not die; Comrades; Iron(wo)Man.

Run for the rest of my life!

Personal:

4 children: twelve, eight, five and baby Fartlek - 2 1/2. Wonderful supportive husband that lets me drag him and the family all over for race after race!

Finished 13 marathons and LOVE running that distance! I'm definitely hooked to the marathon monster and hope to constantly improve my endurance, speed and stay injury free!

I've also found a love of trail running! I hope to keep improving on this front.

After being injured with a broken foot at the first of 2012 I found a tri group and started training with them and am now loving tris! The half IM was harder than I'd ever imagined...and am ready to do it again. I'll earn my bike butt and someday have enough time to train for a full IM.

Had a Christmas Breakfast I needed to help set up at 7AM...so no early running for me. I also then needed time for breakfast to settle before heading out. So, a few UT county guys decided we'd meet at Lehi JRP at 1PM to go AFTER the storm came and made all the morning runs miserable. HA! Trick was on us!

 The storm didn't start until noon, so at 1PM we were in the thick of it. Heading South wasn't too bad, but the strong North wind wasn't so wonderful. Still kept a good pace and just enjoyed the company. I was scared of the cold and overdressed, so I shed a layer at Willow Park! Picked it up on the way back.

Blaine and Skip were good company and Skip hadn't run for a while, so a few times he took off to get a little faster pace in, but then would get distracted by a dog or something and wait for us.

AP: 8:09 splits: 8:10, 7:52, 8:05, 8:04, 8:05, 8:07 (Skip the pacer...right on!), 8:28, 8:12, 8:11, 8:23, 8:11, 7:16 (last .25 mile that I was going to walk in, but the guys kept running, so I was guilted into running it.)

This whole day was so absolutely crazy! It is now 1AM and I have yet to go to bed...I'm going to be tired tomorrow, and my 3 hours at church? I'm already trying to figure out how I'm going to get everything done that I need to! blech. Busy weekends.

Sounds like a nice run although the wind was tough. Hope you got it all done today.

From Toby on Sun, Dec 09, 2012 at 20:20:07 from 199.101.229.6

Wowzer...you are a trooper!! Way to stick it out and get it done! Hope you had a yummy breakfast!

Nice run in the snow...

I will be there tomorrow! I say we plan a run!

Nice run in the storm. I hate it when our best plans turn out to bite us in the rear....or blow wind on our faces.

And what's up with Christmas and the Holiday Season taking all our time away from the important things- like running?

NICE snowy run. Sorry about the wind but looks like it didn't even phase you since you run in windy Herriman all the time! :) Lucky for Blaine and Skip to have your company!

hope you got a restful Sunday night! T's the season! :)

Terri, I need to start getting used to the snow and wind...I just don't like it!

Toby, it seemed like the breakfast was over as soon as it began :( but, it was good food.

Becca, oh you KNOW it!!!

QP, no kidding - Christmas?!? bah humbug!

Smooth, I wasn't talking much at that pace. Not like I usually do, so they were the ones keeping the company :)
